STATE PLANNING INTRODUCTORY NOTE In the following tables will be found references to the principal statutes in the various political subdivisions of this country, with relation to a few of the main divisions of city planning law. Except as otherwise noted, the references are to the session laws in these jurisdictions and the statutes apply to a number of local governmental units and not exclusively to one such unit. When the text of the statute is given in this work, the reference to the page where it will be found is given in bold-face type. In a few cases in which amendatory statutes have appeared after the text of the book was in print, the substance of the amendment has been stated here in italics. I. PLANNING THE CITY AS A WHOLE A. APPROVAL OF PLATS A PREREQUISITE TO RECORD Note: Except as otherwise specified, the statute applies only to land within the city. Where it applies to land outside, and within a certain distance of the exterior limit of the city, that distance is given. In a few cases the statute makes it unlawful to sell the land unless its requirements are fulfilled. These statutes are starred. ARIZONA. 1921, ch. 27.
